Welcome @lisa928 ! Just a couple things to point out here. - Please don’t try to describe the complete issue in the title. The title should be a brief statement of the issue. The full description should be in the body of your post. - When posting code (or templates, error messages, tracebacks, etc), enclose the code between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code, then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep your code properly formatted. (I’ve taken the liberty of editing your original post. Please remember to do this in the future.) ---

Please provide more details about your project. Describe what sort of user and profile models you’re using, and what you have done with this project so far. (i.e., is this an existing project you are enhancing? Or is this a new project where you’re just getting started?) ---

You’re going to need to provide all the details about these changes. Also, did you start your project with a custom user model, or are you adding this as part of these updates? ---
